WELL

OPEN WELL FOR WATER STORAGE When we water the plants, it keeps the earth wet, but most of the water evaporates quickly. As the air pockets around water droplets inside the earth’s surface, prevent water from traveling inside the soil, the effectiveness of the method is minimal. I am trying open well method. The wells may be small in size, but deep enough to wet the soil below the surface. These wells will get filled during rainy season or may be filled with PANCHAYATH WATER, SO CALLED BECAUSE THE PANCHAYATH IS PUMPING WATER FROM THE RIVER AND SUPPLYING TO FARMERS IN OUR SIDE. When full, these must be covered, to prevent evaporation. Air pockets are less in deeper strata and so water molecules will easily travel in all directions. Minute roots of plants will use this water. This is still my experiment and I shall convey the results to my viewers in due course. The first well of one yard diameter was dug, two yards deep and filled with Panchayath water today.
